Berry Picking and Berry Baking

The beginning of summer means strawberry season. We go berry picking every year at our favourite local farm. It's a whole afternoon of good old-fashioned family fun - wagon rides and fields full of berries, a petting zoo and playground and a giant play area. The kids have a blast, there's a winery for Mom and Dad, and at the end of the day we head home with baskets brimming with fresh, sweet, juicy-red berries.

One of the best parts of berry picking is using those berries to make tasty berry treats. This year, instead of our traditional strawberry crumble I made a couple of strawberry pies - delicious, melt-in-your-mouth gooey-sweet strawberry pies.
